About this ebook

“Complex . . . an atmosphere-filled adventure . . . with a fair quota of surprises . . . a winning combination of strong characters and colorful societies.”—Kirkus Reviews

In the final book in the Tawny Man Trilogy, Fitz and the Fool are tested more severely than ever in a book the Monroe News-Star calls “a breathtaking ride from beginning to end.”

FitzChivalry Farseer has become firmly ensconced in the queen’s court. Along with his mentor, Chade, and the simpleminded yet strongly skilled Thick, Fitz strives to aid Prince Dutiful on a quest that could secure peace with the Out Islands—and win Dutiful the hand of the Narcheska Elliania.

The Narcheska has set the prince an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice on the isle of Aslevjal. Yet not all the clans of the Out Islands support their effort. Are there darker forces at work behind Elliania’s demand? Knowing that the Fool has foretold he will die on the island of ice, Fitz plots to leave his dearest friend behind. But fate cannot so easily be defied.

Fitz makes me mad. Better yet Hobbs does. She had to be somewhat stupid. It's like Fitz can't think right. I'm thinking do this that's what a father would do. He does nothing, says nothing. To keep his daughter out of it. He just lets them use him. I would think even serving a kingdom would allow someone to have a life and I say so. He needs some balls and stand up and say no.

I've enjoyed the first four in the series of books featuring Fitz. Hobb has a gift for creating enigmatic characters and putting them in locales most fascinating. Her skilful weaving of plots are like the finest minstrel on the lyre. The fifth book in the series was nowhere near as good. That's alright, i figured, it happens to the best of 'em. This sixth book however takes a nosedive into mindless drivel. Insufferable personas and an asinine, uninspired plot made me wish the whole lot of them would just get devoured by the dragon and be done with once and for all. A book best consigned to the dumpster fires, I say, and summarily forgotten.

Fitz's adventures are fantastic and imaginative and the characters are interesting with good depth, but I was sorely disappointed with the end. I mean [SPOILER ALERT] they find out about him while he's unconscious; what a waste of great dialogue.[/SPOILERS] Looking forward to the continuation of Fitz in August, though.
